Chapter Twenty-Six: The Ancestral Society

At the end of spring and the beginning of summer, it is a good season for famous flowers to compete for beauty, and when the day is hot, the well-fed ones are blooming all over the mountains, and the really delicate ones are included in the flower room.

The Xiangguo Mansion wanted to hold a "Xiangzu Meeting" and sent out invitations, but all the famous families in the imperial city received the posts.

There are two types of invitations, "conference" invitations and "small meeting" invitations. That is, in the garden of Xiangguo's mansion, it is divided into two parts, the outer part is "the assembly", and there are 200 pots of various high-quality orchids, and 500 pots of other seasonal flowers, and there are tea banquets, poetry and painting meetings, and folk artists perform tricks in the water pavilion, which is received by Mrs. Xiangguo, and the object of invitation is the wife who presides over the feeding of the major families, and the unmarried lady in the family. If there are unmarried children in the family, you can also take this opportunity to look at each other.

The inner enclosure of the "small meeting", only put the best orchid 20 pots, invited more than 10 noble imperial relatives and ministers, accompanied by Qin Xiangguo personally, drink famous tea and appreciate famous flowers, and then there are Le Ji to play singing and dancing, just to attract feelings.

Qin Xiangguo looked at the guest name card presented by the housekeeper, and stroked his beard, very satisfied. Look at Qin Xiaosan again, dressed up and down, the whole person seems to have changed as a person, indescribably young and stylish, and even walking is much more stable. I saw that he transferred the group of the envoys in charge, and a flower-viewing event was arranged in a very detailed and thoughtful manner. I couldn't help but feel ironed in my heart, I thought that I would have to worry about this child who knew how to beat chickens and dogs all day long, but I didn't expect that if the child wanted to be sensible, it turned out that one night was enough.

Orchids, it is better to have a fragrance, and the best orchids with aroma only need a small pot, which can fill the room with luxury, refreshing people's hearts and spleens, and smell unforgettable.

After a while, eight or nine out of ten guests had come, and there were several guests in the inner hall, all of whom were valuable. The two surviving old imperial uncles came to one, that is, the eldest one, who was later given the surname Mu Wangye, Mu Wangye has passed the life of Jiazi, and his hair is white, but his complexion is very good, and his face is full of red light, and he was immediately let to the top by Qin Xiangguo. In addition, the crown prince Lu Chunping, the head of the Hanlin Academy, Shao Yiming, and several servants of the ministry, only the regent Bailibo.

Shao Qin'er, the head of the Le Ji class raised in the Qin Mansion, took the Le Ji to salute everyone, and said that Wan Fu, Shao Qin'er is a southerner, with a mouth like a yellow warbler out of the valley, and a unique local accent in the south, the tone is soft and sticky, and it sounds like a coquette. Qin Xiangguo waved her hand to get up, and heard Na Mu Wang Ye laugh and said: "What a blessing, what a blessing, such a good and beautiful Le Ji can not be found, and Xiang Ye must be regarded as a treasure." Those two eyeballs seemed to be glued to Shao Qin'er's body, and Wang Ye Mu, who looked straight at her, had a dry mouth.

Qin Xiangguo also pinched his beard and smiled: "What does it mean to be unattainable?" But a Ji Er, if Prince Mu likes it, Qiao Lian is willing to cut his love. "Qiaolian is the word of Qin Xiangguo. You must know that Lord Mu is not old-hearted, and his biggest hobby in this life is beauty and wine, and Qin Xiangguo is very willing to be an adult.

Everyone praised Qin Xiangguo's generosity, and congratulated Prince Mu on another beauty. Mu Wang Ye was overjoyed, rubbing his hands and laughing.

Poor Shao Qin'er, quietly retreated in a place where everyone was not paying attention, the figure hidden behind the curtain trembled, her little face was pale, and her beautiful eyes were full of tears.

It's hateful, an old man in his sixties, who is still not satisfied, and he doesn't know how many innocent girls he has bullied and harmed in his life. She gritted her teeth, and hated Qin Qiaolian for being ruthless, she had followed him since she was young, and for many years, it was just an item that he gave away.

The more I thought about it, the more I hated it, and the tips of my fingers pinching the pipa were too hard and turned white, and I couldn't help but worry that the thin fingers would be broken. She suddenly plucked a golden hairpin from her head, and secretly thought that it would be better to find an opportunity to simply stab the old prince to death, than to die quietly in King Mu's mansion in the future...... Who knows what tricks this old thing will use to practice itself.

Just thinking about it, the hand holding Jin Hai was suddenly held by a pair of very warm hands, Shao Qin'er was shocked, and looked up to see a young man with very dark skin and a very ordinary appearance squatting next to him, his facial features were not unusual, and it was difficult for people to remember his face after looking at it again and again, but his eyes were full of clarity and great kindness in insight into the world, as if he had completely seen her heart. He looked at himself with a smile, which suddenly embarrassed Shao Qin'er a little, and his mind suddenly sobered up: "How can I ...... What happened to me just now? ”

The boy didn't say anything, but gently pulled out the golden hairpin from her hand and inserted it into her hair.

Then the young man quickly stood up, as if nothing had happened, with his hands in his hands, looking at the visitors in the hall, with the usual smile on his face, Shao Qin'er's heart suddenly calmed down a lot, yes, let's talk about things in the future, everything will always take a turn for the better, you can't die in your own thoughts, living is more important than anything else, right?

But this young man, who is neither a guest nor a servant?

Suddenly, I heard someone say loudly: "The king of Baili has arrived!" ”

Everyone in the hall instantly quieted down, Qin Xiangguo took three steps and two steps to the door, and the servants in the house were very respectfully leading the way in front, and walked into a man wearing white clothes and embroidered bamboo leaf patterns on his sleeves. His expression always looked a little tired, although he was very happy to go hand in hand with Qin Xiangguo, and he had a lot of greetings with everyone in the hall, but Fu Shao found that his smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes.

Or is it the same, it doesn't look like Qin Xiaosan said that it is "famous"? Fu Shao couldn't figure it out in his heart, could it be that this person has always pretended to be a pig and eaten a tiger? It's not right, when he was taken away from the camp tent of the handsome man to her private prison, he was obviously just a scared half-dead rat-galled scholar, could it be that after a few years, he could still change sex?

When the soul was wandering out of the world, no one noticed that Bailibo was already very keenly aware of her gaze, and had already turned his head to see her. However, for a moment, Bailibo's gaze was gone.

Qin Xiangguo had a smile of surprise on his face, he didn't expect Bailibo to really come to this kind of banquet, he suddenly felt very face-saving, and thought that the main seat had been given to Prince Mu, and he didn't know if Baili Bo would mind sitting under Prince Mu, who knew that before the words came out, Prince Mu's still very bloated body had bounced off the seat like a spring, and he arched his hand again and again: "Lord Regent, please please, take a seat, take a seat, take a seat quickly." ”

Bailibo politely held Mu Wangye's hand, and said softly: "What the eldest brother said, the younger brother should sit under the eldest brother." ”

Prince Mu seemed to be burned by a "big brother", his whole face was distorted, and he immediately said more attentively: "No matter how old you are in the court, the regent should be the head." ”

Bailibo: "This is not the court. ”

…… Everyone didn't know whether to persuade or not, and when they were panicking into a pot of porridge, Baili Bo had already sat down with Shi Shiran, and sure enough, he sat down under Prince Mu. Mu Wangye had no choice but to sit back in his original position with a shaking, carefully put half of his butt on the chair, and took out a handkerchief from his sleeve to wipe his sweat, and said with a dry smile: "Qiaolian here, it's still quite hot." ”

The others hurriedly sat down in turn, and the silk bamboo singing immediately rang out. There is a happy and peaceful atmosphere, and occasionally you can hear the sound of warblers and swallows coming from the periphery.

"Qin Xiangye is also a flower lover, and it must have taken a lot of effort to bring out these many superb orchids." Bailibo on the Qin Xiang National Highway.

"The regent praises, Qiao Lian loves flowers and doesn't know flowers, it's my son, recently I suddenly fell in love with the flowers and grass, and I really made some fame, thinking that the season is rare, it's better to invite all the adults to come over and enjoy it." Qin Xiangguo said modestly.

Bailibo: "I don't know which young master in Xiangye's mansion is it?" ”

Qin Xiangguo: "It's me." ”

Bailibo smiled slightly: "Is it actually a one?" This king can be regarded as watching him grow up, he has been a stubborn master like a mud monkey since he was a child, and he actually likes to make grass with flowers? Amazing, wonderful. The intimacy in his tone made Qin Xiangguo happy when he heard it. Immediately turned his head and whispered to his subordinates: "Quickly call that little bastard to come in and say hello to a few princes." ”

After a while, Qin Xiaosan shook his head and walked in, his robe was opened and closed by pretending to be chic, and he secretly glanced at Fu Shaogen who was standing in the servant pile on the side, and Fu Shaogen immediately gave him an encouraging smile. Qin Xiaosan's intuition was like being beaten with chicken blood, and he saluted the princes smoothly.

By the way, he also flattered and shouted "Uncle Xingzhou", which is the word Bailibo.

Bailibo smiled "um", turned his head and sighed to Qin Xiangguo: "Yiyi is also nineteen this year, it is the age of marriage, and Xiangye has to worry more." The Queen Mother is concerned about this. ”

Qin Xiangguo said in a loud voice, if it weren't for this little bastard who was out of the moth all day long, the marriage would have been decided two years earlier, and now who in the Imperial City doesn't know that he is a demon king of the world, if you want to make a good one, you have to ask the Queen Mother to marry.

Everyone immediately held Bailibo's words and said: "Several sons of the Qin family are dragons and phoenixes among people, and their parents have loved their children since ancient times, presumably this is the youngest one, Mrs. Xiangye still wants to pick more, it is really a family with a son and a hundred families begging for ah, hehehe", and forcibly put the ancient saying that a family has a female hundred families begging for life on Qin Xiaosan's head.

Qin Xiaosan saw that this was not a good end, and hurriedly changed the topic: "Uncle Xingzhou, what do you think of these orchids of mine?" How is it compared to the one in the Baili Palace? ”

Qin Xiangguo immediately scolded loudly: "Just these tattered things of yours, are you embarrassed to take them out and compare with the regent?" I barely took it out for hospitality, and that's just because I'm your dad! ”

Qin Xiaosan was not convinced, and only looked at Bailibo, as if he must say that Bailibo would come down.

Bailibo said with a smile: "These pots of flowers are really good, and they can be regarded as good products." It's just that if you want to give them all to me, I'm afraid there will be a lot of place in this palace. ”

Qin Xiaosan was a little wilted, but after a while, a very sly smile appeared on his face: "Since my cousin doesn't look down on these, I don't dare to hide my secrets, in fact, today there is a pot of rare orchids in the world, which is appreciated by my cousin alone." ”

After speaking, he said loudly behind him: "Quick, bring me the pot of orchids that I have read "University". ”

Fu Shao just wanted to raise a foot and kick him to eat, dare to love the big snow Sulan who told him before, this grandson listened to it as "University" Sulan.

Immediately, two very sturdy servants carried a mahogany table into the flower hall, on which was a pot of flowers, but the perimeter was densely covered with a circle of oilcloth, and the true face of the flowers could not be seen. Everyone was intrigued and craned their necks to look forward.

Qin Xiaosan stepped forward in two steps, lightly lifted the oil cloth, only to see that the pot of flowers was nearly three feet high, the leaf color was like jasper, the midrib was translucent, the flower buds were jade white, there was obviously only one flower in the pot, but seven or eight flower branches were born, and seven or eight flower buds fell on each flower branch, although one did not open, but the faint fragrance has completely overwhelmed all the flowers in the room, the smell is sweet and different from ordinary orchids, and it even contains a bit of pleasant fruit fragrance, this orchid blooms like a crane, and after a few days of big blooming, it will be like a crane dancing forest, like a dream.
